| Title | Oviatt Street #43 |
| Description | Captain George Church (1823-1898), a partially deaf Civil War veteran of the 41st Ohio Artillery and a master carpenter, built this home in 1878/9. Mary Carson (1856-1940) bought it as an investment in 1905, raised the roof to add a second story and then rented the home to her daughter and son-in-law Frances (Fanny) (1879-1937) and George W. Saywell (1879-1966). Fanny and George rented to own and when the purchase was complete, they celebrated with an ice cream party. The Kerr and the Wickes families were among the later occupants of this Gothic Revival home. |
